Achin Pakhi is one of Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay’s mystery novels outside the Byomkesh series, written in his characteristic precise prose. The story brings together a small group of characters whose pasts and presents do not match up the way they should.
Sharadindu fans who have only read Byomkesh sometimes do not know about books like this one. It is a strong, short, and clever novel.
